National Kindness Gift Exchange

By Tamika Mapp October 20, 2022

In a world that can sometimes feel disconnected, a small act of kindness can go a long way in brightening someone's day. Macaroni Kid Harlem is delighted to invite you to participate in the 2023 National Kindness Gift Exchange, a heartwarming initiative designed to foster connections, spread love, and make our community in Harlem shine a little brighter.

What is the National Kindness Gift Exchange?

The National Kindness Gift Exchange is a unique opportunity to participate in a heartwarming gesture of goodwill. This delightful event coincides with National Kindness Day on November 13, a day dedicated to celebrating and encouraging acts of kindness.

Here's how it works: Sign up by October 20th, and on November 1, you will be assigned a secret person to send a thoughtful gift to. You'll then have from November 1 to November 11 to send your chosen recipient a gift valued at around $20. It's a chance to brighten someone's day, spread joy, and create connections within the Harlem community.

Why Should You Participate?


Celebrate Kindness: National Kindness Day is all about celebrating kindness in all its forms. What better way to embody this spirit than by participating in the gift exchange? Your act of kindness can have a ripple effect, inspiring others to do the same.

Community Building: The exchange isn't just about giving and receiving gifts; it's an opportunity to get to know other parents in Harlem. Forge new friendships, strengthen existing ones, and build a sense of unity within our community.

Spreading Joy: We all know the joy that comes from receiving an unexpected gift. This event allows you to bring that joy to someone else's life, making them feel appreciated and valued.

Tips for a Memorable Gift Exchange

To make the experience even more delightful, here are some things to keep in mind:

🎁 Create a Wish List: Help your gifter choose the perfect gift by adding some preferences to your Wish List. It makes the process more enjoyable and ensures you receive something you'll truly appreciate.

🎁 Communication is Key: If, for any reason, you're unable to send your gift, please reach out to Tamika at 845.380.4050 as soon as possible. This way, your recipient can be reassigned, and no one is left out of the exchange.

Let's make this National Kindness Day a truly memorable one for Harlem! Join us in spreading warmth, compassion, and positivity within our community. Sign up for the 2023 National Kindness Gift Exchange today and be a part of something beautiful.

In a world that sometimes seems to be moving too fast, it's the little acts of kindness that remind us of the power of human connection. Together, we can make Harlem a kinder and more vibrant place for everyone.
